Following these tips will help
ensure a great senior session.
Clothing
-
Dark or bright solid colors photograph best.
-
Wear what you like and feel comfortable
in.
-
Have a variety of outfits (casual and
dressy).
-
Avoid stripes and patterns, especially very small stripes.
-
Avoid shirts that easily show bra straps on the shoulder
area.
-
Skirts
and dresses are fun, but limit the variety
of poses.
-
If you are self-conscious about certain body parts, cover
them. For example, wear long sleeve shirts if you're
conscious about your arms.
-
If you wear glasses, have your optician remove the lenses or
borrow a pair of empty frames like yours. If you keep your
lenses in, there will most likely be some glare/reflections.
Hair &
Skin
-
If you need tame the hairdo, get it cut 1-2 weeks before your
senior session.
-
Don't try new hairstyles the day of
your shoot.
-
Avoid coloring your hair the week
before your session.
-
If you are going to tan, don't tan the
two days before your shoot.
-
Sunburn and tan lines cannot be
digitally removed.
-
If you have blemishes you are concerned
about, a little make up can cover it up. If you can't see it
in the mirror, you won't see it in your pictures. (We
retouch all ordered images.)
-
Eyeliner and mascara help the eyes
stand out, but don't get it clumpy.
Props
-
YOUR things are YOUR best props: letter
jacket, instruments, hats, class ring, hobby stuff, etc.
-
If you want uniforms, talk to your
coach before school is out for the summer.
-
A pet is not a prop, but bring them
along if you want. Make sure someone else will be able to
care for the pet while you're busy looking good for the
camera.
1-2 Weeks Before your shoot
-
Finalize your location(s).
-
Finish tanning.
-
Get your hair cut, trimmed, colored,
whatever you want.
-
Ask a friend to join you and a parent
during your shoot. You'll both have a lot of fun!
-
We'll call or email you to confirm the time(s)
and location(s) of your shoot and answer any questions.
-
Create a list of any special pictures
you want (i.e., with a pet, your mom and dad, class ring,
etc.)
The Day
Before Your Shoot
The Day
of Your Shoot
-
Be prepared well
in advance and on time for your shoot. No one looks good
when they're rushed.
-
Eat something
before your shoot (be sure there is no food in your teeth!).
-
Bring a parent
and friend with you to help ease your jitters; they will
be able to help you out in a number of ways.
